One Big Family Christmas!!

Camden enjoying Presley's gift!!!

Pretty soon we are going to run out of steps!!!!

How can words even describe what this get together means to me..... What a blessing it is to be involved in such a wonderful Christmas memory!!! Every year we get together with 5 of our closest friends and their children and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Of course, as the years have gone by the group has grown much BIGGER with children!!! Between the 6 families there are 15 children. We let the kids draw names for gifts according to the age group and then we all bring cookies to exchange. This is one of my favorite Christmas memories. Even though it is not easy getting all of these children in their pj's and gathered for a picture it is something that they will look back on and be so blessed by!!! I am not sure who has more fun with this the parents or the kids..... I hope that this is a tradition that will last long into middle and high school years I can't wait to see the picture then!!! Of course we will have to loose the pj's....... Ha! Ha! I am not sure if our children are even aware how blessed they are to be surrounded by such wonderful families and friends who all share the same love for Christ. I know that for Tom and I we are so happy to be a part of such wonderful memories and are prayer is that it will begin to shape our children lives and continue to grow these friendships for them as well.
